Description
Hi Workawayers,
We are a lively family of 4 , with two girls aged 7 and 5. We live in Winterthur, Switzerland.
With a big house and garden, a dog and the girls, there is always more than enough to do. Help in the garden, play with the kids, help in the house, master the one or the other IKEA hack, take care of our dog, there is never nothing to... Whatever is your talent, we'll find the right task!
As a family we love the outdoors and try to go to the mountains every weekend. Skiing, hiking, bbq... You are welcome to join - or wander about on your own.

Help
We are looking for an open-minded, social person. There won't be any tasks that need special training, we are happy if you just lend a hand with our house/garden/kids/dog whatever suits you best.
If you're a gardener, we'll be happy if you dig in.
If you're a dogtrainer - lots of work on our doggy to be done :)
If you're into kids - our kids love getting to know new people and play with them.
If you teach Spanish, French, English - the kids will be eager to learn! And mum, too!
If you have magic hands and an eagle eye - the house is big and there are many corners to clean...
If you're a painter - some walls will be happy about a touch-up.
You get the idea.
